Microsoft Windows 8.0
The entire globe is awaiting for a technology change. All Corporate and technologist will look for Operating system development. It has come through Microsoft Corporation. Microsoft Corporation may come out with yet another version of OS shortly named as “windows 8.0” temporarily.
Microsoft Corp. showed hardware partners the next version of Windows, internally code-named “Windows 8,” to help the partners build devices that take advantage of the new user experience. Microsoft, demonstrated how “Windows 8” is optimized for newer touch-centric hardware, including tablets, while still delivering the flexibility, connectivity and power that people have come to expect from Windows today.
The technical demonstration also highlighted the new operating system’s ability to work across both x86 and ARM-based architectures, with a variety of early prototypes shown running the new operating system. Microsoft and silicon chip makers AMD, Intel Corporation, NVIDIA Corp., Qualcomm Inc. and Texas Instruments Inc. initially announced plans in January to work together on the next version of Windows.
Microsoft's aim with ‘Windows 8’ is to make the user experience a natural extension of the device, from the time the users turn on the PC through how the users interact with the applications they know. This represents a fundamental shift in Windows design that Microsoft haven’t attempted since the days of Windows 95, presenting huge opportunities for its hardware partners to innovate with new PC designs.
The new user experience also extends to how applications will run on “Windows 8,” with controls naturally fitting into the device experience. Developers also will be able to use common Web technologies, such as HTML5 and JavaScript, to create applications for the PC, further easing integration and adoption.
To aid developers in building applications for the new operating system, Microsoft formally opened registration for its new developer conference, BUILD.
